And not just anyone gets to fork over a million-plus for a Veyron either. It seems you have to have $200 million in the bank to buy one.

But then on our sister site, Celebs and Cars, we read that some distinctly D-List celebrities drive Veyrons, having apparently won Bugatti's blessing to purchase the 1000-horsepower, 250-mph monster from Molsheim.

Take accused domestic abuser and baby rap star Chris Brown, for one. Or Simon Cowell, who to our horror is reportedly worth half a billion dollars or so.

In working to erase the notion of Simon Cowell in a Bugatti from our memory banks, our neurons randomly connected to serve up a brief flicker: the image of the world's most hideous Veyron. From August 2006, we bring you: the ugliest Bugatti Veyron on the planet.

According to our sources, the photos were taken in the courtyard of London's Dorchester Hotel. The car is said to be owned by the son of a sheik from the United Arab Emirates, given to him as a graduation gift. Nice personalized plates, too.
